In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, when allocating the fishing opportunities available to them, Member States shall use transparent and objective criteria and shall also endeavour to apportion national quota fairly among the various fleet segments, paying particular attention to artisanal and traditional fishing and to more sustainable gears that have a positive impact on the recovery of blue fin tuna and swordfish stocks because of their high degree of selectivity, their low impact on marine ecosystems and their scientific significance.
